Re: Combined DTD - 3.2 + CSS1? (fwd)

Once upon a time Arnoud "Galactus" Engelfriet shaped the electrons to say...

I LIKE that idea though.

When anythign that impacts the DTD becomes an official recommendation
the DTD SHOULD be revved.  I strongly feel there should always be an 
official W3C DTD that represents all recommendations to date.  What is
the sense of having seperate groups for different modules when it all
ends up waiting on the HTML WG for their next rev?

It shouldn't be a lot of work, and since DTDs don't get numbers until
they are done it should have no impact on other fields.

Hell, maybe just do a review once a month - if there are any new 
recommendations that month, rev the DTD.  That way you don't rev it once
a week if lots of small things get changed, etc.

It would be nice - we did have a Wilbur DTD to work with that evolved.

And there *was* a Cougar DTD out, I just can't seem to find it in the
new structure (maybe they didn't link it...).
